Abstract

In this note we provide a gentle introduction to the concepts and intuition behind the recent breakthrough results on the mathematically rigorous construction of a non-trivial 2D conformal field theory, namely the so-called Liouville theory. This gives us the opportunity to review Segal's axioms for conformal field theories and to discuss in some detail how the free field fits into them.
